Welcome to the new power rankings.
On the 1st and 15th of each month, we’ll update the rankings, which are compiled by a panel of voters: Food For Thought Miami; Mango & Lime; The Chowfather; Blind Tastes; and Miami’s Restaurant Power Rankings.
Each first place vote earns 20 points, a second place vote earns 19 points, and so on and so forth, all the way down to 1 point for a 20th place vote. The votes are tallied and the total number of points are published in each power ranking. We also include the number of first-place votes. Individual rankings will not be published.
Enough with the explanation. Here are the first *new* power rankings:
1. Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink (2 first place votes; 97 total points)
2. NAOE (2 first place votes; 92)
3. Hiro’s Yakko-San (75)
4. Red Light (73)
5. Sakaya Kitchen (71)
T-6. Bourbon Steak (1 first place vote; 62)
T-6. Michy’s (62)

This was the right call Roman baby. Take some heat off of you and add more to the Chowfather. I suspect he will do fine but may get bored with her feelings
What’s with all these fake postings under my fake twitter feed! Dude, post under your own name! Love the new format Ryan.
Who voted for Bourbon Steak in 1st place?
I think The Chowfather voted for Bourbon Steak first.
